I've had a tough time letting go of taking Horn over Jones or Fields since draft night. I now have 0 doubt this was a terrible choice.

Fields would at least give us someone to build around and hope. Jones with this defense would be in playoff contention. 

Jones is terrible. He and his turnovers were the only thing that kept us in the game there for awhile.

Giving clowns like Matt Rhule talking points to continue this mistake.   Look guys, Sam moved the team down the field, we got TDs, and won.  Maybe there is something there.  

Matt Rhule criticized Sam Darnold about as much as you will ever see any HC criticize their starter.

Any chance of a long-term relationship between the sides is over if you read between the lines.  Darnold might start again but it is going to end up like the Bridgewater relationship.  Fractured.

this thought is exactly why you start PJ.  Then you start that 3rd string QB. 

last thing you need to say happen, is for Sam Darnold to throw a couple checkdowns to CMC vs Atlanta and CMC take them 60 yards and Sam finish a game with a junk stats sheet.  Giving clowns like Matt Rhule talking points to continue this mistake.   Look guys, Sam moved the team down the field, we got TDs, and won.  Maybe there is something there.  

You bench Sam to close the door on Sam Darnold.  It's not about PJ being the man.  Or the 3rd string QB.  It is about exposing the entire QB depth chart Matt Rhule put together shutting all the doors.  PJ's too. 

Rhule had the perfect scapegoat to play PJ and Morgan without having to bench Darnold this week. Just say his shoulder wasn't ready and no one would be bummed if the other guys didn't work out. Now he has to directly bench Darnold for poor play, showing his ineptitude as a coach and evaluator

If anyone is the first to be showed the door I think it will be Joe Brady. I posted this link after the Dallas game and it contained a mind blowing  statistic

https://www.derp/2021/10/5/22710073/why-is-the-panthers-offense-under-joe-brady-so-bad-in-the-third-quarter

Panthers third quarter performance

Year Week Opponent Panthers Pts Opponent Pts
2020 14 Broncos 3 12
2020 15 Packers 7 0
2020 16 Football Team 0 3
2020 17 Saints 0 10
2021 1 Jets 0 8
2021 2 Saints 0 0
2021 3 Texans 7 0
2021 4 Cowboys 0 20
    Total 17 53

 

Here are the 3rd quarter point totals in the 5 games since:

Eagles (0),

Vikings (7)...and those came on a blocked punt

Giants (0)

Falcons(3)

Patriots (0)

20 pts in the 3rd quarter over our last 13 games...and going back to last season I might add...is not going to cut it in today's NFL. That's almost an entire season's worth of games. There is something seriously wrong with how we come out offensively after halftime.  And, since Sam wasn't here last season, it can't be blamed entirely on him.

When Horn comes back from injury and is the best corner in the game and Jones/Fields are mediocre (maybe just flat out bad) these  “Horn was a bad decision” takes will be funny to look back on.

It has to be Brady, there is one side of the football that is holding up its end very well, to a side that can't score a TD.  Rhule is to blame for it too, but Brady is supposed to answer the call and field a competent offense and hasn't done that for 6 weeks now, and it suffered most of last year also.  Its time for that change at least.

So... the decision makers and coaches are the problem but Tepper who brought them all in isn't? Okay.

Focus on what can change. Can’t change the owner. Also….gonna say the smartest guy in the room who makes calculated decisions for a living isn’t the issue. There is a difference in making the right decision and everything going wrong around it and making the wrong decision. 
 

I don’t believe hiring Rhule and Fitt were the wrong decisions. The evidence for that:

1. The defense is still really good. They need an O to stay on the field. 
 

2. ST is improving 

3. Gilmore was a good trade 

4. Horn was the right pick or at the very least one of the two right picks if you want to split hairs with Slater. Horn is a pro bowler as a rookie if he doesn’t get injured. 
 

5. Our entire 2020 draft was basically a Rhule draft. Lot of key contributors in that class 

 

The problem is the combo of Brady and Darnold and as far as I can tell Tepper has been the most outspoken voice in favor of trading for a legit veteran QB and not stockpiling draft picks and worrying about cap. He’s watching LA and seeing that in order to win you make moves. If there is anything that he’s pissed about it’s probably that his decision makers haven’t been aggressive enough.

Serves them right, they had 2 playoff caliber quarterbacks in the building and gave them the walking papers, both Cam and Teddy have led teams to the playoffs, what has Darnold ever done?

Gave those better players away for nothing and traded away picks to bring Pickles 2.0 here. 

If Tepper has been hands off, he needs to hands on now, clearly the rebuild is going off the tracks.

Hostile work environment?

How do you figure?

That was one of the reasons he was forced...oops, I mean willingly sold the team.  That, jeans Friday and making a supposed remark about a black scout's nose.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
